Where we're at
We officially launch in May 2023.
The guiding light is 100 businesses, with 1000 healthy, empowered humans by 2033.
For now we’re taking on proof of concept phase.
We want to go deeper into building processes, tools, and network than seems reasonable, so all of our founders thrive, contribute and tell a real story.
So we’re taking the Airbnb ethos of “doing things that don’t scale” to get ourselves ready to scale.
This means super high-touch, hands-on partnership at every level possible to found and grow 4
small to micro businesses per year for two years.
During this period:
We’ll refine and test our model of skills & partnership for equity and debt for infrastructure.
We’ll find and test more support services, and remote management partners.
We’ll build digital efficiencies, tools, and templates that we can nail our colours to for the next phase.
We’ll aim to show some solid returns to a few sources of funding for the next phase.
We’ll track the hell out of our own impact, never discounting the addition of jobs, skills and service.
To start with here are the founders and companies we’re proud to be founding partners of.
